ABC News reported Nicaragua National Police had confirmed the 22-year-old Tercero had been arrested Tuesday afternoon. He was being transferred to a prison about 40 miles southwest of Managua, the Nicaraguan capital.

Binghamton police investigators said Tercero took a flight out of the United States to Nicaragua before Anderson's body was found.

Friends of the 22-year-old nursing school student contacted city police Friday afternoon when they had been unable to contact Anderson. The woman's body was discovered in a first-floor apartment at 23 Oak Street on the city's West Side.

Anderson, who was a senior at Binghamton University, was from Westbury, Long Island.
